Subject: Express 27 "Espresso"
Info: (21196 views) Posted: Friday 12-4-09 01:33:06 PM
There was a red boat in the SF bay area a few years ago by the name of Radio Flyer (hul #89), but it sold and went somewhere??? Could be this one just renamed, or it might be a lost boat that we don't know of. Check the hull identification number on the top right corner of the transom. That will tell you everything you want to know. I have a pretty big file on the history of all the boats and can give you what I know once we find out what the hull# is.

Cheers, Jason

:: The boat has a Montana registration (Yes - Montana!) but

:: "Espresso". Any information would be helpful.
